Before we get ahead, let's warn you that the below article might contain some spoilers about The Zoya Factor, based on the book that we have read. Sonam Kapoor plays the main lead in the film, inspired by the novel by the same name written by Anuja Chauhan. If you have read the book, you know that it is a sweet, funny romantic tale set against the backdrop of superstitions and cricket. Dulquer Salmaan is the male lead. After making his Bollywood debut with Karwaan in 2018, this is the Malayalam superstar's second film in Hindi Cinema. The Zoya Factor Trailer: Sonam Kapoor Bowls Over Dulquer Salmaan and the Indian Cricket Team in This Quirky Comedy (Watch Video).

The makers have dropped the first official trailer of The Zoya Factor on August 29, and as expected, it is quite quirky, funny and merges two of India's favourite loves with much dexterity - cinema and cricket. Sonam plays Zoya, an advertising executive, who was born on the same moment when India lifted the World Cup in 1983. During a work assignment, she comes across a beleaguered Indian Cricket team, led by a suave Nikhil Khoda (Dulquer Salmaan). The Zoya Factor: 10 Pictures Of Dulquer Salmaan From The Trailer Because He'll Get Us Through The Mid-Week Blues.

When Nikhil's teammates know of Zoya's birth story, they make her their lucky charm, and they suddenly start winning matches. Soon, the news about the charm spreads in the media, and many begin to see Zoya as a goddess incarnate. So while Zoya and Nikhil do get close, the latter is annoyed that his team is getting too dependent on Zoya. Meanwhile, the attention begins to get to Zoya's head, and cracks begin to form in their budding relationship.

Watch the trailer of The Zoya Factor below:

The trailer has enough fun moments, but one scene that caught our eye came and went as quickly as the blink of an eye. The scene had Zoya sit with the cricket team on a buffet table. Dulquer Salmaan is seen sitting on the extreme left.

Eagle-eyed observers may have noticed that this is a recreation of the famous artist Leonardo Da Vinci's popular mural painting, The Last Supper. For the uninitiated, the painting recreated Jesus Christ's last supper with his 12 apostles before he was betrayed by Judas, arrested by the Jews and sent for crucifixion.

As with The Last Supper, there are also 13 people in the still depicted above for The Zoya Factor, including Zoya herself. So what does it mean? Well, it could be a play at the fact that how Zoya who was seen as a divine charm for the team, is soon betrayed by the repercussions that follow with the attention and publicity which such a notion generates.

Whatever the reason may be for that particular still, we have to say, 'Well Played!' The Zoya Factor, directed by Abhishek Sharma, also stars Angad Bedi, Sanjay Kapoor, Manu Rishi, Koel Puri and Sikander Kher. The movie is all set to release on September 20.
